Featured Project
The Criterion Theatre
Located in downtown Bar Harbor, the Criterion is only one of two Art Deco theaters in the state of Maine; it features a hallmark vintage marquee, a floating balcony, and its original 750+ seat auditorium.
In April 2025, our public charity committed $1 million to the theatre for operational, programming, and preservation under the leadership of local summer residents Stephen and Allison Sullens.
As the new stewards of the Criterion, this effort revitalizes the historic theatre as a destination for prolific artists and creative hub for the Mount Desert Island Community.
